Zeke is the kind of pup whose quiet charm grows on you until—before you know it—he’s captured your whole heart. At just 19 pounds, this young German Shepherd mix may look like a pup, but he’s the perfect small-medium size for cuddles, road trips, and daily companionship. Zeke is gentle, sweet-natured, and at his best when surrounded by those he trusts—whether it’s playing fetch with a doggy friend or curling up by your feet after a long day.
Though shy at first with new people, Zeke quickly opens up with a little patience and a few treats. He’s housetrained, crate trained, and already knows basic commands like “Come,” “Wait,” and “Sit.” This affectionate boy thrives in calm, predictable environments and would love a home with another friendly dog to show him the ropes. He’s lived with kids and cats, enjoys quiet trail walks, and loves a fenced yard for playtime. While car rides still make him a little uneasy (he’s been through a lot), Zeke is slowly learning that not all change is scary—especially with someone by his side.
